Meysam Heydari Gharahcheshmeh, a mechanical engineering doctoral student and the UH MRS president, said his prior experiences with MRS motivated him to open a chapter at UH. He served as an MRS mentor for two years and gave oral presentations at MRS meetings in 2015 and 2016.

“We want to encourage materials science and engineering students to join us and build our network,” said Heydari Gharahcheshmeh. “The UH MRS chapter will serve as a platform for its members to network and communicate with materials research scientists in academia, industry and government worldwide.”

MRS university chapters are entitled to various benefits including special project grants, distinguished speaker support, travel assistance to attend MRS meeting, access to MRS publication and other in-kind support.
